SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 606,647, dated July 5, 1898. Appncaaonnedme,1897. Seriana. 639,@33. (Nomade.)

To all whom, iz'; may concern:

Be it known that I, CHRISTOPHER F. CUT- TINGHAM, a citizen of the United States, re-

-siding at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ouspidors for Cars and other Conveyances, of which the following is a full and complete specification, suchas will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to cuspidors for buildings, cars, and' other conveyances; and the object thereof is to provide an improved device of *this class which is particularly adapted to be connected with the bottom of a car or other conveyance, but which may also be used in dwellings and other structures.

The invention is fullydisclosed in the following specification, of ywhich the accompanying drawing forms a part, in which the lig-v ure is a 'sectional view of the bottom of a car with my improved cuspidor connected therewith. t'

In the drawing forming part of this specification the separate parts .of lmy improvement lare designated by numerals of reference, and

in said drawing I have shown at 5 a section of the bottom of a car, and vin practice the upper surface of the floor at the point where the cuspidor is connected therewith is preferably slightly concave', as shown at 6, and my improved cuspidor consists of a tube 7, which passes through the bottom of the car and which is provided with an annular flange or rim S, which is countersunk in the upper surface thereof, and placed in the upper end of saidtube is a hollowy conical attachment 9,

the apex of which is directed downwardly, and said attachment is provided with an annular fiange or rim 10, which rests on the anof which is secured an extension 14, and the ends of the extensions v14 are curved upwardly, as shown at 15, and provided with detachable screw-threaded plugs 16.

The extensions 14 of the tubular cross-head 13 of the tube 12 are detachably connected with said tubular cross-head, as shown at 17, and the pipe 12 is similarly connected with the pipe 7, as shown at 18, these connections being made in a well-.known manner, and one of the extensions 14 of the cross-head 13 is also preferably provided on the upper side with a vent 19, and' each of said extensions may be similarly provided, if desired.

The operation will be readily understood from the foregoing description wh en taken in p connection with the accompanying drawing and thefollowing statement thereof. The lwater and other substances pass through the pipes 7 and "12 into the tubular cross-head 13 and the extensions 14 thereof, and whenever it is desired to remove the same from said `tubular cross-head and said extensions thereof the plugslt are removed and the said extensions may be turned at their connections vwithl the cross-head 13, so that the curved ends 15 thereof will be directed downwardly, or said extensions may be entirely detached from said cross-head, if preferred.

My improved cuspidor for cars and other conveyances is simple in construction and operation and perfectly adapted to accomplish the result -for which it is intended, while being also comparatively inexpensive.

Having fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A cuspidor for cars and other convey-l throu gh the door of the car, and which is provided with a iange or rim which is countersunk therein, said pipe being also provided with a hollow conical attachment the apex of which projects downwardly therein, and the base of which is provided with a flange which is also countersunk in the iioor of the car, and said pipe being provided at its lower end with a tubular cross-head with which are'connected two tubular extensions the ends of which are curved upwardly, and provided roo` with detachable plugs, said extensions being adapted to be turned in said connections with said Cross-head, substantially as shown and deseribed.

A euspidor for ears and other conveyauees, consisting of a pipe as 7, a tubular extension as 12, eonneeted therewith, and provided with a cross-head as 13, and tubular extensions as 11, connected with said erosshead, and the ends of which are Curved upwardly, and provided with detachable plugs, substantially as shown and described.

3. A euspidor for ears and other eonveyanees, consisting of a pipe as 7, a tubular extension as 12, connected therewith, and provided with a cross-head as 13, tubular extensions as 1l, connected with said Cross-head,
